klaus-sport If you like me are both Australian and love comedy this movie will be one of your favorites. Written by one of Australia's finest comedians, Tony Martin, this film explores the boundaries of comedy from hilarious characters to alternate slapstick. Also, it has so many great Aussie comedians and actors who it is a joy merely to see on screen. If this movie had more invested in advertising you would've already watched and written a review like this one. From the start the movie is hilarious with one of the greatest car scenes of all time and the unfortunate misguided zeal of the two protagonists. You won't stop laughing from then to the end. I've watched this film multiple times and got great joy from it, the world needs more Tony Martins!

Steve West I watched Bad Eggs with the preconception that it was a mix of serious cop drama and comedy. After watching The Late Show and listening to Martin/Molloy, Tony Martin has come to my attention again through his return to the airwaves on MMM. I am catching up on the self-confessed movie buff's interim works by watching Bad Eggs and reading his book Lolly Scramble.Bob Franklin and Mick Molloy didn't strike me as the two best leading actors for a film, but they perform respectably within the low budget Australian comedy format. The comedy and drama are better integrated than I was expecting, Bad Eggs is basically a tale of two detectives with a capacity for ineptness and clumsiness, who get mixed up in corruption in their own department, the fictional Zero Tolerance Unit of Victoria. There probably actually are individual agencies like this now with a similar lack of transparency, with ASIO recently being expanded and given increased powers. The film gets serious when the two detectives get deeper and deeper in the poo, but the comedic elements return when they strike back with the help of Northey, played by Alan Borough. On the whole Bad Eggs is akin to a film like True Lies on the comedy scale, it is primarily a drama with comedy arising from storyline elements rather than from deliberately inserted jokes. It never manages to excel in any particular area but what was achieved was a film with a professional look, a storyline that maintains interest for the first 90 minutes, and a cast of fairly decent Australian actors and comedians.

SootyGrunter [Minor spoilers!!]I have much respect for Tony Martin, Mick Molloy and Bob Franklin. Tony Martin and Bob Franklin especially so, being, in my opinion, two of the funniest men alive. However, I thought that Bad Eggs was terrible. It had several gags that were extremely funny (Australia's Most Wanted and the 4 colour pen come to mind immediately). But on the whole the movie was not funny and the plot wasn't interesting or clever.Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't "understand" this brand of comedy. Bob Franklin's work on Jimeon, Tony Martin's on the Late Show, and even Mick Molloy's "The Mick Molloy Show" were all Australian television moments that I thoroughly enjoyed. Bad Eggs contained only glimpses of this humor and I didn't care for the plot. I guess I was expecting it to be a whole lot funnier than it actually was. I felt this movie didn't carry enough humour to be a comedy, nor was it successful as a crime/thriller/drama. It did neither well, falling somewhere in the middle . . . . mediocrity.Cmon guys. You should have done much better than that! I was expecting Tony Martin's writing combined with Bob and Mick as the main characters to produce something much better.

j_mousey this film had some laughs, not bad, but not great. the major letdown however was the storyline, i sat in the theatre for the majority of the film wondering what the hell is going on, having occasionally the few laughs that had no real relavance to the storyline itself. the ending was rather poor, so was the character development, and so was the acting (actually, considering most of the lead characters in the film werent actors, you can say they did a decent job).if you have a spare 10 bucks in your pocket and dont know how to spend it, and you feel like you have nothing to do in the next 3 hours, then go see this movie. otherwise, save the money for another movie.
